Talking about Panama is also talking about history. In summary, we can say that Panama achieved its independence from Colombia with the help of the United States, but, on the other hand, had its sovereignty compromised by the presence of the Americans in its territory, having to share the administration of the Canal for many years. from Panama. Only in 1999 did the country regain its sovereignty; only then did Panama gain absolute control over its Canal and its revenue. The Panama Canal, which connects the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, is one of the great works of humanity. Inaugurated in 1914, it has become a very important route for cargo transport, making the ships that pass through its waters save time and money, by preventing them from going around the southern end of the continent.
